Japanese peanuts are essentially peanuts encased in a hard and crunchy slightly sweet wheat flour shell and a hint of soy sauce.[1][better source needed] They are sold in plastic bags under various brand names. Despite the name, Japanese peanuts are unknown in Japan. Japanese peanuts were invented by Yoshigei Nakatani, a Japanese immigrant In Mexico, in 1945. [2][better source needed]
